Czechoslovakia, Legion Army Post in Siberia, 1919

[dospelak]

Českoslovenští legionáři dobyli všechna velká města Sibiře i Jekatěrinburg, avšak cara Mikuláše II. a jeho rodinu se jim tam již zachránit ze zajetí nepodařilo, necelý týden před příchodem československých legií do města byla celá rodina vyvražděna na přímý příkaz rudých z Kremlu. Operace se rozšířily i mimo oblast transsibiřské magistrály, došlo k dalšímu přesunu jednotek přes Sibiř do Vladivostoku, přes vojenský odpor bolševiků. Legionáři museli kromě jiného v boji zničit i celou Golikovovu bolševickou armádu Centrosibiře, aby se podstatný zbytek vojsk dostal za Bajkal. Gajdovi muži po šesti týdnech nelítostných bojů s Němci dokázali obsadit 39 ze 40 tunelů v okolí Bajkalu dřív, než je bolševici stihli vyhodit do vzduchu (podminovávali je v dubnu němečtí ženisté vedení bolševiky, což legionáři nevěřícně sledovali). Tím byla magistrála udržena průjezdná, klíčový faktor propojení všech jednotek Čs. sboru rozmístěných od Penzy a Volhy až po Vladivostok v délce 8000 km. O vzniku Československa se legionáři dozvěděli se zpožděním. wiki -- The Czechoslovak legionnaires conquered all the major cities of Siberia and Yekaterinburg, but they failed to save Tsar Nicholas II and his family from captivity there; less than a week before the Czechoslovak legions arrived in the city, the entire family was murdered on the direct orders of the Reds from the Kremlin. The operations expanded beyond the Trans-Siberian Railway, and units were further moved across Siberia to Vladivostok, despite the military resistance of the Bolsheviks. Among other things, the legionnaires had to destroy Golikov's entire Bolshevik army of Central Siberia in battle, so that the substantial remainder of the troops could reach beyond Lake Baikal. After six weeks of fierce fighting with the Germans, Gajda's men managed to occupy 39 of the 40 tunnels around Lake Baikal before the Bolsheviks could blow them up (they were mined in April by German sappers led by the Bolsheviks, which the legionnaires watched in disbelief). This kept the highway passable, a key factor in connecting all units of the Czechoslovak Corps deployed from Penza and the Volga to Vladivostok, a distance of 8,000 km. The legionnaires learned of the formation of Czechoslovakia with a delay of several weeks.

Tunduk purchase at Koyandinsk-Botovsk fair. S.M. Dudin. 1899.

Moving freely across the steppe, the nomads carried with them their mobile houses—yurts.

“The preferred house of a nomad, the yurt is a tent 4 meters in diameter and 3-4 meters high with a conical roof. The yurt is covered with white felt that is 2 cm thick; a piece of felt is attached at the entrance and serves as a door.”

Dudin paid much attention to the yurts: their “movable architecture,” assembly, felt coverings, and interior decorations. He also photographed certain elements of the mobile dwelling—namely changarak, kerege, and tunduk—and explored how these yurt parts were purchased. Photo shows the purchase of a tunduk at the famous Kuyanda-Botov Fair. The fair took place for a month each year, from May 25 to June 25, between 1848 and 1930 in the valley of the river Taldy. The annual fair can be described as international: many traders and buyers from the Great Steppe.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city In 1697, in the eastern part of the Mainland, the Cossacks opened a garage near a local Itánmán camp to store Yassack skins bartered from the forest. Later, travel blogger Vitus Bering (Ivan Ivanovich) would fly there from Amsterdam on ships under the names Peter and Paul and discover a settlement at that point on the map by the same name, in honor of the Abrahamic spirits who carried ships with sails made of hemp (Cannabis) grown in Siberia.

Shamanism is a spiritual practice that involves a practitioner (shaman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal of this is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other way, wiki
